He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me.
He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force.
He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy.

Not to be a bummer but if you need to know how much the right lusts for wolf death look to Idaho and Wisconsin for examples on how wolf hunts have been going.
Shit's depressing, sad, and frankly deranged.
If this goes through it will not end well for the species. They're too political.
